Oh, and sign-ups are OPEN:

CONFLICTING NUMBERS (#) WILL BE SORTED UPON FINALIZATION OF THE DEPTH CHART.

Nabbs, you can come up with the description for our offense
Doesn't have to be long, just something like whether we like to pass a lot, or prefer run, etc. What kind of formations we utilize. Nothing deep!

808, do the same for defense! We have 2 DTs and 1 DE, and 4 LBs so maybe a 3-4 is what we will need to work with~
Or move down babyatemydingo to DE and run a 4-3 _________________

Camp Battles will decide who the starters are. They will be short challenges and myself, Ian, and either the OC or DC (depending on player's position) will decide who wins the battles.

A PM will be sent to each contestant alerting them of their battle. Participation is not mandatory, but your chances of becoming a back-up are higher.

For starting RB:

Code:

RBrown86 vs Poloc2289

June 21st to June 23rd (11:59PM)RB CHALLENGE:Based on participation, this battle may be extended to a point based system with several rounds. Though since both players are different type of backs, it is possible even the back-up gets a lot of carries depending on how the OC uses you. This challenge is to determine who the premier back is.

Pre-TC Press Conference, 3:00 PM on June 20th, 2012, with Head Coach [b]Phire[/b]

[Opening]The time has finally come for the beginning of what promises to be an exciting new year for this start-up franchise. The roster is nearly completed, and we look forward to a tough training camp with essential battles occurring all across the board.

I am not open for questions.[/Opening]

Quote:

Reporter 1: "Coach, are you comfortable with there being no competition for the starting quarterback position? How do you feel about your quarterback, Blahman88?"

If I didn't believe in Blahman88's abilities, I would have went and got someone. He's a good kid, with a good head. He can deliver a mean blow when he needs to. He's an athlete who can bend and twist like an acrobat, spread his legs real far, really flexible guy.

He's got a good arm too. And I know he's getting a lot of unwarranted criticism for being from England, but he's handling it the right way. With a cup of tea and some fish n' chips.

Quote:

Reporter 2: "Coach, where do you anticipate will be the most strenuous position battle?"

Without question, the WR position. We have 3 guys who are extremely versatile and talented.

Quote:

Reporter 2: "How do you feel about Bednarik60's knees?"

We've got some of the best medical staff in the nation here. We'll keep a close eye on how he's doing, but he's been training very hard, and doing his best keeping out of trouble. He has had run-ins with the authorities, but we're doing our part as well to keep him focused on the game. He lost a boat-load of weight and is very lean. He's looking very fast.

Quote:

Reporter 3: "Coach, is there a more talented long snapper in the NFL than LOLKevinKolb?"

Well, obviously the first name that comes to mind is Jon Dorenbos. What that guy has been able to do with a ball between his legs is incredible. Every long snap is magical. You can see the magical dust sprinkling from his hands and leaving a trail to the punter's grasp. LOLKK is a good kid, and he has a lot to learn. He's got a great relationship with Dorenbos though, since LOLKK attended some private work-outs at Dorenbos' private island in May.

808, do the same for defense! We have 2 DTs and 1 DE, and 4 LBs so maybe a 3-4 is what we will need to work with~
Or move down babyatemydingo to DE and run a 4-3

After reviewing our roster and taking into account each player's strengths and weaknesses, I've made a decision for our front 7. We will indeed be running an aggressive 4-3 defense (to be named at a later time).

Up the middle, it made the most sense to have our two anchors in on most plays, as we are lucky to have a pair like Kiltman and JRoc clogging the middle. Hammertime52's flexibility and quick get off on the snap has allowed us to move him to our premier pass rushing RDE spot. bamd's expertise and hard nosed play has allowed him to move up to starting MIKE. We now have a lone position battle on our hands (see below) at FS.

This position battle should be a good one. Staff, I'm going to need your intel on who has the leg up in this competition._________________2013 Eagles Forum HOF

Position change and i have to here about it through the media?! Come on coach!

"Look, when I throw a dog a bone, I don't want to know if it tastes good or not. If our RDE spot is played correctly, including taking care of your responsibilities, practicing sound Juandamentals, and having a relentless motor, it is a glorious position in our defense. We moved the "Hammer-Head" there, and that's the end of it."_________________2013 Eagles Forum HOF
